\"2025<\/p>\n

\u201cSuppertime\u201d by Katie Brockman. Winner, Open<\/p>\n

Dog lovers rejoice. The winners of the photography awards just for you have been announced. Australian pet photographer\u2013and My Modern Met Academy instructor<\/a>\u2014Belinda Richards was named the overall winner in the 2025 Dog Photography Awards<\/a> for her charming photo I\u2019m All Ears.<\/p>\n

In her winning image, Richards doesn\u2019t just take a picture but tells a story. In this case, she followed the growth of a German Shepherd over the course of a year and found her own unique way to show the pup\u2019s development through a charming photo collage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love using multiple images to tell a story,\u201d she shares<\/a>. \u201cStorytelling and humor are the backbone of the work that I love to do. For something like this shot over the course of 12 months, the biggest difficulty is making sure the lighting and posing is the same each time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richards beat out over 2,000 entries from photographers from 48 countries to take the title of Dog Photographer of the Year and a cash prize of \u20ac2,500 (almost $2,900). In addition, awards were handed out in six categories that ranged from action shots to studio portraits. Jane Thomson was a big winner, taking the top prize in both the Studio and Dogs & People categories.<\/p>\n

Both photos showcase the Canadian photographer\u2019s sense of humor, featuring a pooch with his hair flopping in front of his face and another where a rescue pup (and therapy dog in training) dons the guise of Yoda. It\u2019s creative work like these that demonstrate just how exciting and dynamic the world of dog photography truly is.<\/p>\n
